Early this morning, Hong Dali woke up early, ate breakfast, left house, and when he reached Chenhui Building, it was only 10:30 AM.
"Oh my, I woke up really early today, " said Hong Dali.
Yet, when he reached Chenhui Building and saw the Bureau Chief, the Bureau Chief's face was black and he roared, "Do you know who you are meeting today? That's my Boss! And yet you little rascal only just came! Are you expecting my Boss to wait for you!?"
"Huh? We are eating lunch together, not breakfast." Hong Dali opened his eyes wide and his face was full of innocence."Lunch has already started? That can't be. Lunchtime should be around 11:30 at the earliest, why should we go there so early?"
"Stop being cheeky with me!" The Bureau Chief pulled Hong Dali's ear."If my Boss arrives there before you and waits for you, then you needn't make a living in Heavenly State anymore, do you understand me!?"
"Alright, alright. There wouldn't be any problem." Hong Dali grinned, not in the least worried."We will make it in time if we go now, anyway. So let's go, hehe."
Therefore, the lot of them packed up and got ready to leave. This time, the ones going were Hong Dali, Tang Muxin, Lin Chuyin, Li Nianwei, and the nine lackeys—the whole formation was here.
On the way there, the Granzon and the Valsions sped all the way, reaching the destination in just 10 minutes or so.
This was an ancient-style building that had red lanterns hanging on it. It was located in Tianjing City's West Second Loop, and the signboard "Da Qing Hua Pie Shop" shone off golden rays. This shop had a history of more than 160 years. Its original name was "Prosperous Eatery, " providing pies, rice, dishes, snacks, and such. Because the selection of the ingredients for the pies was very strict, its making was very meticulous, and its taste was authentic, its business was very good. The golden signboard now was said to be written by the founder father of the Nation, Hong Jun. This restaurant was very famous in Tianjing City.
Of course, the reason the Boss chose this place to host Hong Dali was that other than the taste of its pies being authentic and good, the most important thing was that the price here was also very reasonable.
Actually, such a place would be very suitable. It wasn't very grand and majestic, everything was quite simple and low-profile, yet wouldn't pull down one's identity.
But the problem was that the person he invited was Hong Dali...
This fellow brought along a large group of lackeys with him, with Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei also following by his side. Once they entered, the first sentence he said almost caused the Bureau Chief to fall down and sit on the floor."Oh my, the environment here isn't bad. It's quite clean. Good! Reward, everyone one piece!"
Now that he had already said this, the lackeys could only do as he said. Therefore, they took out the gold bricks and gave everyone working here one, from the boss of the restaurant, to the manager, to the chiefs and waiters...
The mysterious man who was already waiting here stared in bewilderment. This little rascal was bribing the workers in front of him!
After everyone was rewarded, Hong Dali felt satisfied and casually sat down at a table. In boredom, he mumbled, "Now we have to wait again. I hate waiting..." His whole person felt very tired, obviously because he didn't have enough sleep today. Since there was still some time before mealtime, he decisively followed his usual style of asking Li Nianwei over and resting on her lap...
The Bureau Chief was very angry. Did Hong Dali actually know who was meeting him today? If his boss saw this later...
Actually, at this moment, not only was the Bureau Chief depressed, but the boss of the restaurant was also depressed, too.
He was waiting at one side with his head full of sweat, waiting for this Young Master Dali to speak.
Speaking of which, things were quite unusual for him today. Being a loyal supporter of the Dali Divine Sect, he woke up today and shouted a few times "Dali Creates Miracles" to boost his luck and then opened the restaurant as usual.
Then, at 10 AM in the morning, firstly the toll collector for the parking lots received a call from his traffic control department saying that they wished he could reserve a few parking lots for the afternoon because they might need it. Although they used the word "wish, " who would dare to ignore an instruction from the traffic control department? When the boss of the restaurant heard this news, he felt really perturbed.
He had never offended anyone these few days, such a mysterious scene really scared him.
Not long after the call, five traffic police came personally to take a look and then walked into the shop and pulled over the boss of the restaurant, directly telling him that there would be a high-ranking official coming here today and requested him to ensure that the parking lot was reserved for the official.
At first, the restaurant boss still felt very strange—what kind of high-ranking official would cause such a serious scene?—causing his heart to jump about nervously. After that, people only went out and no one came in. Very quickly, all of the customers had left and the restaurant boss waited here ever since then.
To he honest, he was very curious about who was coming here today.
Then, he quickly learned the answer—when Hong Dali came in, the restaurant boss instantly kneeled...
This was really getting what he wanted! He had only just shouted "Dali Creates Miracles" this morning and in the end, the legendary amazing God of Fortune Hong Dali really came and directly rewarded him a gold brick!
That's a gold brick! A 100-gram one! The restaurant boss even especially bit it with his teeth—it was definitely 100% pure gold!
"This, Young Master Dali." The restaurant boss used the most humble and sincere tone he ever used and asked, "What would you like to eat today? This shop has the best pie in the entire Tianjing City, the best side dishes, and the best service! As long as you require it, we will have everything you need here!"
Speaking of which, it was normal for the restaurant boss to act this way, although the Bureau Chief was angrily looking at him.
But very quickly, everyone here learned how Hong Dali was not only good at squandering with his own money, but he also didn't give any thought about spending other people's money, too."Do you have the Manchu Han Imperial Feast here? Prepare me one table for me first. If it's not enough, then... Wu... Wu wu... !"
The Bureau Chief covered his mouth, smiled at the restaurant boss, and said, "Ah, you don't need to listen to this little rascal. Wait for the host to come first, you can go prepare first, prepare first!"
"God!" The restaurant boss surprisingly said inside his heart."This person actually dared to cover Young Master Dali's mouth, he's definitely a powerful person! Who is the one coming here later? His identity is so terrifying!?"
As he thought about this, the restaurant boss retreated with his head full of sweat."Then, please wait here first. I will ask the kitchen to prepare first!"
Seeing the restaurant boss finally go away, the Bureau Chief let out a long breath. Luckily he stopped Hong Dali from asking for the Manchu Han Imperial Feast. Otherwise, when his boss came, things would be interesting...
Yet, as he was thinking about this, the sound of the door opening suddenly sounded and they heard a rough voice saying, "No, I can't tolerate it anymore! Hong Dali! I have finally found you!"
His voice was very loud, causing everyone to look over at him in curiosity, wanting to see what kind of person would dare to come out at this timing to look for Hong Dali.
And when they saw the person, they were all dazed.
He was a 60 plus-year-old military man, wearing a dark green military uniform. Even in this hot weather, he still wore a hat. There were as many as 10-plus medals hanging on his shoulder. Just one look and they could tell that he was a high-ranking member of the military.
This person came in first, followed by ten plus fully armed soldiers. These were real soldiers, definitely not just average policemen. They all wore dark green uniforms, carrying the most advanced submachine gun in Heavenly State, and instantly surrounded Hong Dali and his group!
This person's name was An Yangxu, and he was definitely the highest-ranked person in the military, with a temper that was hot and rash. Since he came here personally today, then without question, he was here for Hong Dali's Mechanical Holy Garments.
"Old An, what are you doing!?" Upon seeing him, the Bureau Chief knew there would be trouble. He hurriedly blocked him and said, "Making such a big scene, are you going to revolt!?" It seemed that there would be a fight, the Bureau Chief hurriedly asked the rest to leave."Restaurant boss, ask your people to go out first, we have something to discuss here. Knowing too much wouldn't be advantageous to you."
"Yes, yes. We shall be going out now, please take your time." The restaurant boss who had retreated to the side hurriedly brought everyone out.
"This is a country-scale issue, I can't be concerned about other stuff anymore!" After waiting for them to leave, An Yangxu angrily sat in front of Hong Dali and asked in his rough voice, "Hong Dali, let me ask you, how many more Mechanical Holy Garments do you have?"
"Huh? This Grandpa An, you want the Mechanical Holy Garments? I still have five with me." Hong Dali felt strange and asked, "But those are the props for my movie, I can't just give them away. They are very expensive!"
"Give them to me!" An Yangxu stretched out his hand."Hand them over yourself and everything can be discussed. I will give you anything you want!""No?" An Yangxu gave a cold smile and said, "Do you believe that I will directly shoot you!?"
"I don't believe that!" Hong Dali shook his head."I didn't grow up being intimidated by people." Saying so, he laid back down onto Li Nianwei's lap.
At this moment, Tang Muxin and Lin Chuyin, who were sitting at the side, both put on their Mechanical Holy Garments at the same time—even their heads were protected. They moved in front of Hong Dali like lighting, protecting him, and at the same time raised their hands. Tang Muxin said, "If you want to bully Dali, ask for Sister Chuyin's and my permission first!"
Don't see that this little lass was always bickering with Hong Dali, once Hong Dali met with danger, she was definitely the first to protect him.
Lin Chuyin didn't speak much, but it was very direct."High-Pressure Electric Pulse Light Beam, full force, ready."
"All of you stop!" Seeing that things were getting out of hand, the Bureau Chief shouted from the side."Old An, I am still here, don't be too overboard! If you have anything to say, we can talk it out when we go back. What are you doing coming here directly to ask for his stuff? Hong Dali is only just 18, what if you scared him?"
"Scared him!?" An Yangxu directly pointed at the soldiers beside him."Things have already come to this, what's there to think about scaring or not scaring him? If I don't get the Mechanical Holy Garments today, I will not leave!" Once he finished saying his piece, the soldiers all raised their submachine guns in unison and aimed at Hong Dali who was still lying on Li Nianwei's lap. If discussions failed, they would definitely obey orders and open fire!
